I wish I was in Wales. . .

So many of my friends are spending the weekend at Caerleon, Newport in Wales. This is where this year's Romantic Novelists' Association annual Conference is being held at the Caerleon Campus of the University of Wales.

For various reasons I have been unable to join them this year so I'm missing out on the talks and the discussions and - most of all - I'm missing catching up with my friends and having fun with them.

But at least i will be in Wales myself in a couple of weeks because on Sunday I'll be at the same Caerleon Campus to share in the fabulous Writers' Holiday for the week. (24th - 30th). I can't wait! I'll be teaching a five session course on Writing Romance and the Babe Magnet will be teaching Writing Poetry. And as I hear that preparations for another Mills & Boon New Voices contest are in progress this could be a great way to get in some early preparation for that!

There are still some places available at Caerleon this year so if you'd like to know more about it, take a look at their web site and maybe I'll see you there.

You can also learn about my Advanced course at Fishguard where we go into more depth and build on the things we've dealt with in the basic Caerleon course. (You need to go on one before the other.) You can read what some past students have said about this course here on my Events page.

Anyway, I'm busy preparing my classes, handouts etc for the week at Caerleon. It's not quite as much fun as being there right now - but at least I'll be at Writers' Holiday in a couple of weeks.

Hugs, I'm missing it too this year. A combination of finances and my darling daughters all managing to make this weekend one of the busiest in the year with rehearsals, trips and holidays. Plus two writing deadlines hanging over me means I had to stay home.
